Thale issued this piece in 1923 as Notgeld — emergency coinage struck by municipalities when the Weimar central government's currency had collapsed to the point of practical uselessness. By mid-1923, hyperinflation had rendered the papiermark so worthless that local authorities across Germany produced their own substitute coinage, often in bronze, to keep commerce moving at all. The Funck references here cover three distinct varieties of this same type, suggesting the city ran multiple die iterations, likely to meet sustained local demand across the inflation peak months.
